CASIO Digital Model G-Shock GXW-56-1AER Brand

This Casio G-Shock ‘King’ model is fantastic to look at, built like a tank, solar powered and has the added benefit of Multiband 6 automatic time setting. It’s true that the negative display can be tricky to read in low light conditions, but I’ve just turned on the automatic backlight feature and then a quick flick of the wrist illuminates the dial. Casio seem to be bringing out a few updated versions of the King, like this one, and it’s a shame they aren’t offering positive displays on more of them. Whatever, it is a fabulous watch that will last for years and I love it!

Great watch, functions are small, not easy to drive while wearing it but overall its a tough reliable watch!

Bulky g shock great watch display isn’t bright but doesn’t bother me highly recommend if you like the bulky g’s

Fantastic watch with solar and multi band 6 and it doesn't look as big on the wrist as you would think this watch is built to last year's and is the watch you would ever need to buy my wrist is six and three quarters inches and looks spot on

This watch no good, the glass steams up in the cold and in the heat, I've sent it off to see if its real

Had this for a month now. + The chunky buttons were first stiff as hell but got easier to press over time with use. + The strap is extremely comfortable, I always find thicker better and 21mm at narrowest points feels great on the wrist. + The stopwatch and timer obviously work fine, but then you get the same out of the cheapest Casios for £100 less. + The time automatically sets itself to within 1 second of my phone's time, which is great. - The negative display is the real negative - Over time your eyes get use to 'looking for' light-coloured digits rather than dark coloured ones so it isn't unusable, but it doesn't compare to even the cheaper standard Casio displays. In low light e.g. streetlight at night, it's unreadable where a normal display is fine. - This is an issue with negative displays generally. It feels like this could have been fixed on this piece by making the digits a bit larger, given how much wrist real-estate the face takes up. I love this watch overall and it is my current non-work daily wear but when I need much clearer displays, like when I'm in the gym or running I use my cheaper Casios. My dw290 is infinitely more readable despite having a much smaller screen that I can read from across the room or with a flash of my wrist.

This is a great watch. Previous reviews not being able to read the display are false. A great watch.

The watch is very good looking on your wrist and all the functions are easy to control. Unfortunately when viewing the time I found it to small and difficult to read. It was worse in the dark when it didn't show up even with the light on. If you have 20/20 vision this is a good watch but not for people with sight difficulties

Sehr gut, stylisch und stark

Reçue très rapidement, un look d'enfer et à toutes épreuves, ma g shock préférée

Increíble el poder llevar este reloj en la muñeca, todo un espectáculo. Sobra decir las cualidades de un G-Shock, pero este ya se sale de la carretera... super robusto, un reloj que impone y llama la atención allá donde vayas. La pantalla aun siendo un display negativo, pera mi opinión se ve bastante bien (mejor de lo que esperaba) Si estas dudando en comprarlo... no lo dudes!!!!! hazte con el.... no te vas a arrepentir. Es un reloj que no debe faltar en la colección de un entusiasta de GSHOCK.

Ser bättre i verklighet.

magnifico orologio.. e ne ho avuti tanti.. leggerissimo; nonostante sia scura l'ora alla luce si vede benissimo in penombra meno ma con la funzione che girando il polso si accende la luce non è un problema. ogni 7 gg meglio lasciarlo al sole per qualche ora.. sarei indeciso se prenderlo tutto nero (nel mio che è la versione con rosso.. cè un pò troppo rosso...) non lo tolgo praticamente mai da due mesi.. voto 10
